Rhinoplasty

It’s time to make peace with mirrors and photographs!

Rinoplasti nedir?

Rhinoplasty is the medical term given to aesthetic surgeries performed to reshape the nose. In these operations, non-aesthetic images in the nose can be corrected, especially the enlargement and reduction of the nose to give an aesthetic shape to the nose.

If you have a health-related problem such as breathing problems, or if your nose does not satisfy you aesthetically and causes you anxiety, you can apply for nasal aesthetics.

How is rhinoplasty done?

Rhinoplasty is performed using different techniques for different purposes. Sometimes incisions are made into the nose and sometimes in the upper part of the nose. Base bone and cartilages can be taken and tissue can be added. This tissue is taken from another part of the body or a synthetic filler can be used. Bone and cartilage are rearranged and shaped in rhinoplasty.

After the operation, treatments are applied to support the success of the plastic surgery. Patients reported that they felt very little pain after surgery. Any discomfort felt can also be controlled with a mild pain medication.

Rhinoplasty can be done under general or local anaesthesia. 1 night stay in the operation center is required. This process may be prolonged or shortened depending on the nasal aesthetic technique to be applied.

What are the types of rhinoplasty?

Aesthetic Nose Surgery-Rhinoplasty is performed with two main techniques: Open Rhinoplasty and Closed Rhinoplasty. The technique to be applied is directly related to the structure of the nose and the procedure decided to be performed. There are also different applications to shape the nose with these two main techniques.

Open Rhinoplasty: The surgery is performed with an open incision. With this incision, the inside of the nose and the tip of the nose can be seen and reshaped easier and more precisely.

Closed Rhinoplasty: The incision used in the operation remains inside the nostrils. The nose is shaped by entering through this incision.

Generally, closed technique is used as much as possible to prevent scarring. However, open rhinoplasty may be necessary in case of severe damage or when the treatment area in the nasal cavity is problematic. Efforts are made to minimize the visible scar as much as possible.

With rhinoplasty, many health problems related to the nose can be solved:

Correction of Septum:

The septum is the two passageways that connect the nasal cavity from the upper part of the nose to the nostrils. Septum consists of several parts such as cartilage and bone.

A septum may have traveled to one side of the nasal cavity without forming two equal paths. It causes a crooked nose in appearance and often inability to breathe easily. When the septum is tilted to one side, it can form an S-shape or bend similarly to a C-shape. Both deviating septums can block the airflow and eventually damage the soft tissues in your nose. By correcting the septum with rhinoplasty, healthy breathing and an aesthetic appearance are given to the nose.

Correction of Enlarged Nasal Flesh (Concha / Turbinate):

Rhinoplasty can correct large bones. There are three types of concha in the nose: the upper concha, which is high in the nose between the eyes, the middle concha located in the middle of the nose, and the lower concha that ends just above the nostril. The enlarged bones are corrected by removing the tissues and reducing their size. Sometimes it is rasped, this is a process decided according to the current condition of the patient.

Removal of Nasal Polyps:

Like the enlarged nasal concha, nasal polyps are often associated with allergies and irritated inside the nose. This growth develops in the nasal passages as soft, jelly-like bulbs. To remove them, the surgeon uses a tool to reach the nostrils and carefully remove the nasal concha. Unfortunately, nasal polyps are very likely to recur.

Correction of the Nose Root (Radix):

The root of the nose may be high or hollow, or it may have collapsed due to a blow. These can also be corrected with nose aesthetics.

Straightening the Oblique Nose

If the nose is slightly curved or shifted to one side, some bone or cartilages can be reduced or physiologically corrected by shifting the tissues.

Nasolabial Angle Adjustment:

The Nasolabial Angle is the angle between the anterior face of the upper lip and under the nose. It is wider in women and is between about 100-110 degrees. In males, it is narrower and is between 90 and 105 degrees. If the tip of the nose is too raised, the nasolabial angle is larger than normal. If the tip of the nose is lower than normal, this angle is less than normal. Nasolabial Angle Adjustment is made for the person who has problems in terms of both aesthetics and health.

Who Can Have Rhinoplasty?

• People who have insufficient or incomplete breathing, snoring, sleep apnea due to their nasal internal structure
• People with aesthetic problems in their nose
• People who have a health or aesthetically problematic nose, and who have gone through puberty
• People who have a loss of self-confidence due to aesthetic problems in their nose
